2023 SOVAS Award Finalist for Audiobook Narration—Thrillers, Best Voiceover

A cunning, twisty, and unsettling novel of psychological suspense with a startling conclusion by Loreth Anne White, the Amazon Charts and Washington Post bestselling author of The Patient’s Secret.

Kit Darling is a maid with a snooping problem. She’s the “invisible girl,” compelled to poke into her wealthy clients’ closely guarded lives. It’s a harmless hobby until Kit sees something she can’t unsee in the home of her brand-new clients: a secret so dark it could destroy the privileged couple expecting their first child. This makes Kit dangerous to the couple. In turn, it makes the couple—who might kill to keep their secret—dangerous to Kit.

When homicide cop Mallory Van Alst is called to a scene at a luxury waterfront home known as the Glass House, she’s confronted with evidence of a violent attack so bloody it’s improbable the victim is alive. But there’s no body. The homeowners are gone. And their maid is missing. The only witness is the elderly woman next door, who woke to screams in the night. The neighbor was also the last person to see Kit Darling alive.

As Mal begins to uncover the secret that has sent the lives of everyone involved on a devious and inescapable collision course, she realizes that nothing is quite as it seems. And no one escapes their past.

Thrilling

Great story and Ms. Oppenheimer’s reading is so on point. I would even say a perfect audio narration. Get this one next! You won’t be disappointed.

Great Suspense

I loved the suspense in this book. White has an intricate way of presenting characters and events, keeping you guessing until the very end. This would make a good movie.

Engaging story and characters

I am a fan of stories in which the mystery is established at the beginning and it unravels going back on time. I was actually quite surprised at a few different points in the plot. Fun read.

Overall Great Story

Although I predicted what I thought was going to happen it didn’t matter. This book was so well written and the switch between character perspective was great. Highly recommend this book.

Big fan of White, but not my favorite

Good book, but it's hard to follow. Narration was good. I will continue to be a follower and fan.

Loved it!

This was a really fun read. The only issues were - 1. The narrator constantly mispronouncing things (isn’t there any editing in the audiobook realm??) and 2. A very, very heavy handed and lame epilogue that wasn’t needed. Otherwise it was great!
